In reply to George C. I'm so glad you found this helpful! I know that timeframes are always hard to predict.

Wow! Ariel, this is pretty nice. I’ve shown this to one of my good friends who’s new to the music industry and I think this really helped.

I actually don’t work in the music industry but, after skimming through your article I can say that I especially liked how you explained the importance of a realistic timeframe, and it got me thinking about the line of work I do myself, and how beneficial it would be to have timeframes set out for various types of tasks. Who knows, it could make me even more efficient at work! 🙂

Anyways for me, that proved to be just an awesome read, so cheers Ariel! Keep up the awesome work, my friend and I will be sure to check on updates in the future!

In reply to Jonahan a.k.a. Snail Quail. Why don't you establish your name for the influencer / thought leader work?

In reply to Ian Anderson.

This is soo true Ian – that “need” for more an more kicks in… It is best to focus on what is already there.

Thank you for this great post! Something I’ve been wrestling with as I plan my social media presence is if I should have a separate blog for me personally and another for my band. A lot of the things I want to blog about aren’t really things I think music fans would be interested in (like traveling, my thoughts on my hometown, technology). I want also to create a platform for me as a writer/thought leader that isn’t stuck to the band name. Should I have a separate blog or keep it all under the same umbrella? I’m trying to think of this from the fans’ perspective but just feel stuck /:

Sweet! Your comments on a band’s Pitch and maintaining Engagement are right on. When it comes to music crowdfunding (where I mostly dwell), the same rules apply. But so often artists try to get fancy and/or get swept up in trying to “reach new people” when they really just need to communicate their core identity to the fans, friends and family who are most likely to fund their project. Obviously that’s a short-term issue during a crowdfunding campaign but it’s also a microcosm of their creative cycle as a whole.

Thanks Ariel!! Really good, but hard to swallow, stuff here: multiple income streams, 70% effort on marketing, expecting to put in at least seven years of hard work, etc. I released my debut about five years ago. I’m making definite headway. I’ve done a lot of things wrong, and a fair number of things right.
